It is only up to the Ministry of Justice and Minister Garland whether a charge should be brought. A judge must then decide if there is a basis for an indictment.

Facts about the congressional investigation committee Photo: POOL / AFP The House of Representatives in Congress established an investigation committee in July 2021 to investigate what led to the storming of the congressional building in Washington on January 6 of the same year. The committee will try to determine the circumstances surrounding the storming and what role then-President Donald Trump and his associates played. The committee has nine members and is chaired by civil rights activist and Democrat Bennie G. Thompson. Two Republicans are on the committee, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, both of whom have been condemned by their own party for their participation. The committee has interviewed over 1,000 people and has reviewed over 125,000 documents and large amounts of video and audio recordings from the dramatic events that cost five people their lives. On 9 June, the start was made for an open and televised hearing where many witnesses will explain themselves and the committee will present parts of its material. The hearing is expected to last until the end of July. The committee is scheduled to present its final report in September. On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington to protest the election results. Around 2,000 broke into the Congress. Five people died and 128 police officers were injured. – Enough evidence On Sunday, Democrat Adam Schiff told CNN that there is “enough evidence” to charge Trump and several of his closest associates.
